Famicom Tantei Kurabu

PLEASE!

I want a Famicon Tantei sequel pretty badly, or atleast a Translation for the first one. The second one got a fan translation. :|

 

[Blebleman]

I love the way these guys think and agree with the results.


Anyone notice FF7 ain't in that list?

 

[Maz7006]

No FF,

. Not a lot of votes though, it's all about money in the end. IF game developers and publishers know that a game wont sell well, they wont go ahead and do it to a few who may even probably in the end pirate it.

One of the best imports of all time in my opinion.

Nobody really wants a remake of FF7, especially not the Japanese. Mainly deluded western weeaboos/fanboys that people feel embaressed living in the same country as want it.

Back ontopic though, I would really enjoy a ZoE sequel, even though I think there aren't many places left to go with the current story. I think I recall Kojima saying something about wanting to make a new ZoE, but about not having the time to do it. I hope if he does find time he makes it as epic as the first 2 games.

 

[ZeroEXE93]

Nice list, glad to see that Golden Sun and TWEWY are in there.

Famicom Tantei Kurabu

PLEASE!

This, as well as Breath of Fire and Wild ARMs.

I got seriously hooked in the fan translation of the Famicon Tantei Kurabu 2 remake, and I really want to at least play the first game in English since it takes place after 2.

Breath of Fire, that series is long overdue for a sequel. I mean, each game released so far has a 2-3 year gap in between.

Wild ARMs, I loved the series to death! I really wish more people knew about it, because it seriously needs attention.

 

[Rock Raiyu]

XenoGears
Rockman X
Rockman DASH
Subarashiki Kono Sekai

That's all I want to see. Developers should listen to the survey.

 

[Raiser]

I REALLLLYYYY want Xenosaga Episode IV.. >.
